Magnetic Mattress Pads - Therapy While You Sleep

By Juliette Pickup

Imagine being able to have physical therapy whenever you want, even when you're asleep? This is possible and not just for those people who have large amounts of money. This is possible if you have a magnetic mattress pad. These pads are new innovations that will provide you with the magnetic therapy that will benefit you in so many ways. These mattress pads will lie on top of your mattress and never need to be charged and they don't ever need maintenance.
You may ask how something that doesn't require you to do a lot of upkeep work can give you so many benefits and how these mattress pads can be distributed for such reasonable prices when they are so beneficial. These magnetic mattress pads provide you with high quality magnetic therapy while you are lying on them. This means that while you are sleeping on it each night the mattress pad is helping to alleviate the pain associated with certain diseases.

The pad is filled with powerful magnets set out in a pattern that has been determined to provide you with the utmost magnetic therapy. These magnets are covered with damask as well as a layer of foam to ensure that you do not have your night's sleep interrupted by the pain of sleeping on hard magnets. The magnets are orientated towards bio-north and are of a powerful enough gauss to positively affect the delicate bio-environment that is your body.

The magnetic therapy that you magnetic mattress pads provide will benefit you by helping to raise the speed of blood circulation and raising the level of oxygen in the blood. This is believed to help slow the aging since it is caused by the process of oxidization. The mattress pads are also believed to help arthritis by preventing the built up of calcium deposits.

The magnetic therapy helps with pain relief because when the rate of blood circulation rises it can become more effective in flushing away the toxins in your body that are causing the pain you are experiencing. An additional benefit is that because the toxins are being flushed away more effectively the level of your health can gradually increase as your body eliminates the toxins from your body. You body can then begin to function at closer to optimal level since it is not concentrating on eliminating the constant build up of toxins in your blood stream and else where in your body.

The increase in oxygen levels in your blood can give you more energy as the more oxygenated is distributed to the tissues and muscles in your body. This can lead to enhanced mental performance and awareness as well as increased physical performance by the increasing of your energy levels. Sleeping on magnetic mattress pads can help you to get a deep, refreshing night's sleep every night and can help you to wake up in the morning feeling energized and healthy.

Can anything be done to help?

Dr. Nagawa, as well as other researchers and medical professionals, believes that correcting this deficiency can easily be accomplished by supplementing the earth's magnetic field with a magnetic mattress pad using negative (north) polarity. Double-blind clinical studies have shown that properly designed magnetic mattress pads are effective in relieving chronic pain and improving quality of sleep, and that pain relief continued to improve over time.

A 12 month double-blind clinical test of magnetic mattress pads for pain relief in hospitalized patients was conducted at the Sanikukal Hospital, Tokyo Communications Hospital and Kouseikai Suzuki Hospital in Japan.

Symptom	Total Cases	# of Positive	% of Total	# of No Results	% of Total
Neck & Shoulder Pain	66	47	71.2%	19	28.8%
Lower Back Pain	76	61	80.3%	15	19.7%
General Back Pain	31	25	80.7%	6	19.3%
Lower Limb Pain	68	54	79.4%	14	20.6%
Insomnia	70	61	87.1%	9	12.9%
Fatigue	64	53	82.8%	11	17.2%

CONCLUSIONS: Out of 375 total subjects with symptoms in this study, 301 (80.27%) reported positive results. 74 cases (19.73%) reported no results.

A double-blind clinical study of magnetic mattress pad use in patients with Fibromyalgia was conducted at Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA:

CONCLUSIONS: Sleeping on a magnetic mattress pad, with a magnet surface field strength of 1100 +/- 50 Gauss, delivering 200-600 Gauss at the skin surface provides statistically significant and clinically relevant pain relief and sleep improvement in subjects with fibromyalgia. No adverse reactions were noted during the 16-week trial period.

Why magnetic therapy for better sleep?

Clinical studies have shown that a properly designed magnetic sleep system provides many benefits to those suffering from nighttime pain and sleeplessness, and those waking up with stiff or sore muscles. An important caviat when purchasing magnetic therapy products manufactured overseas is that the magnets used are typically very small, with very low energy and limited penetration depth (less than 2"). It is also common for the magnets to be facing the wrong way in imported mattress pads, which can actually disturb sleep rather than enhance it.

There is a good reason that magnetic mattress pads vary widely in price so keep in mind why you are looking in the first place - to feel better. Select a product that provides the proper strength magnetic field and comfort level for your specific needs.

A direct manufacturer located in the U.S. who ensures the quality, strength and integrity of their magnetic products is Therion Inc. They offer an extensive professional magnetic therapy product line, which includes four magnetic sleep systems designed to address different levels of pain and difficulty sleeping. Several of the sleep systems are made with memory foam.

Painless Sleep With a Magnetic Mattress Pad

Magnet therapy has quickly become a popular new option in pain management. Many people, from doctors to athletes, swear by its effectiveness. Magnet therapy is rooted on the belief that placing a magnet on your body will attract the iron in your blood to that area and increase blood circulation. Studies have shown this method of pain relief to be effective even though medical science has yet to prove its worth.

People who use magnet therapy can find wraps for any area of their body that suffers from chronic pain. Hot spot areas are generally joints, back and even the head. A new wave of magnet therapy offers total body relief while you sleep. A magnetic mattress pad is essentially a magnet for your entire body.

How It Works

A magnetic mattress pad is similar to a regular mattress pad in its use. It is a cushioned pad that rests on top of your mattress. The main difference is that a magnetic mattress pad contains small magnets. These small magnets are intended to provide pain relief while you sleep. Depressions, arthritis and fibromylagia sufferers have found magnetic mattress pads to be helpful.

The increased blood circulation throughout the entire body has helped many people suffering from chronic pain due to medical disorders get a better night’s rest and feel less pain when they use a magnetic mattress pad. Some people even claim that magnetic mattress pads can benefit you by slowing down the aging process because of the increased blood circulation.

The two most important aspects of getting the right magnetic mattress pad that will provide pain relief to your body are quality and comfort. If you are searching for a mattress pad in general, always look for the one with the highest quality. A high quality magnetic mattress pad provides the highest number of magnets, as it is the magnets that help increase blood circulation. Ask about the number of magnets in the pad before you decide on the right one for you.

Test out the magnetic mattress pad before buying, if possible. Make sure that you feel comfortable lying on the pad. Comfort is a major factor in determining how well you sleep. Even if you suffer from restless sleep without aches and pains, you may find the magnetic mattress pad to be just what you are looking for. So, if you suffer from chronic pain, body aches or restless nights, try a magnetic mattress pad The only thing you have to lose is the pain, and you have a relaxing, rejuvenating night of sleep to gain.

How to Choose the RIGHT Magnetic Pad For You!

You've probably heard a lot about Magnet Therapy and the perceived benefits of Magnetic Mattresses in general, the fact of the matter is both are here to stay. The therapeutic benefits of Magnetic Therapy have been both documented and embraced the world over. Did you know that in Japan, 1 in every 7 homes uses some form of magnetic therapy? In Germany, the number is 1 in every 10. In fact, Magnetic Therapy Products are already categorized as accepted medical devices by the governments of Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Israel.

Among the most popular products offered under the umbrella of magnetic therapy are Magnetic Mattress Pads. Offered in a variety of styles, sizes and magnetic strength, choosing the right magnetic mattress pad can sometimes appear to be "overwhelming" to the ordinary consumer - especially when it is a proven fact that not ALL magnetic mattress pads and magnetic pad companies are created equally.

To make your buying experience as easy and trouble-free as possible, Magnetic Mattress Pads has put together four very important things you should keep in mind when selecting a magnetic mattress pad on the Internet today:

1. Does the company in question offer an advertised 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee on all magnetic mattress products purchased through them?
2. Is the company reputable and easily locatable with a site containing testimonials and health resources on the perceived effects of magnet therapy in general?
3. Does the company market the very latest in mattress pad products, explaining in detail the difference between products using disk magnets to those that use domino magnets and give detailed suggestions as to which pads are best used for each individual?
4. Does the company offer a complete selection of magnetic mattress pads and offer a "guaranteed lowest price" policy?
5. Does the company give you a Free magnetic pillow pad and magnetic bracelet with each purchase? Do they also, additionally, give you a pair of $48 value magnetic insoles when you purchase more than one magnetic mattress pad?

Let's look at each of these extremely important points in detail one at a time.

Question #1 -

Does the company in question offer an advertised 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee on magnetic mattress products purchased through them?

Buying a product with a "satisfaction warranty" is useless if you cannot contact the company or if these "guarantees" come with burdensome terms and conditions which must be met. Not so at Magnetic Mattress Pads. We believe a "satisfaction policy" should address your "satisfaction" not ours. To that end, we have an industry leading 90-Day Satisfaction Policy which allows you to return your magnetic mattress purchase with no questions asked. Guaranteed! Why do we do this? Because our return rate is under 1% annually and we KNOW you will love your mattress or you can return it!


Question #2 -

Is the company reputable and easily locatable with a site containing testimonials and health resources on the perceived effects of magnet therapy in general?

Here at Magnetic Mattress Pads we don't believe you should have to search every page of our site for our phone number and contact information. If you have a question, call us, we really want to help you. Therefore you will find our 1-800# and address information located clearly on every page of our website. Further, unlike many of our competitors, we do not and will not make any unsubstantiated claims about our products. You will find our site lists customer testimonials which relate their experiences with our products in their own words and we strongly urge you read them before you make any buying decision. Further, Magnetic Mattresses contains numerous articles, studies and related information on the topics of Magnet Therapy and the perceived benefits that it may hold for a variety of everyday ailments.


Questions #3 -

Does the company market the very latest in mattress pad products, explaining in detail the difference between products using disk magnets to those that use domino magnets and give detailed suggestions as to which pads are best used for each individual?

As I mentioned earlier, not all magnetic mattress retailers are created equal. Many continue to sell mattresses with inferior magnets, which do absolutely nothing to relieve your body's aches and pains. When buying a magnetic mattress ALWAYS ask if the mattress contains either "domino" or "disk "magnets in its construction. What's the difference you ask? Well, cheaper domino magnets have an oblong magnetic field which provides less BAS (Break Away Strength) in the patented BAST tests. This means that a one-inch disk magnet has 61% more strength than a domino magnet. Some companies claim that the more a Pad weighs, the better it is. This is like stating that an iron ship is stronger than a steel ship. But as you can scientifically see, the lighter disk magnet is stronger and more effective than the domino. The shape of the magnetic field in the domino magnets also causes the magnetic field itself to "bleed" south pole energy, which is stimulating and not what you want when you are trying to sleep. This oblong magnetic field from the domino magnet results in magnetic relief that is nowhere near as effective as that provided by the circular magnetic field that is generated by the disc magnets used in most Magnetic Mattress Pads products available on this site. Magnetic Mattress Pads manufactures high quality products that are provided to Doctors and the general public, but we also manufacture for dinner seminar companies and other health businesses. Some of these companies have us manufacture domino magnetic mattress pads, so we have these available to you as well. Although this type can be effective to a certain degree, we strongly recommend the technology of the disk magnetic fields.

It is also imperative to find a company who can easily and correctly recommend product to you to suit a wide range of ailments and sleeping patterns. For example, our Deluxe, Premium Foam, High Density and our Maintenance Pads are for people who sleep on their back only. If you sleep on your side, you put more pressure or pounds per square inch on your shoulder, thigh, elbow and knee. Because of this we would suggest our Deluxe Foam, Super High Density Foam or our Advanced Memory Foam Pads. The more magnets in the pad, such as the Super High Density Foam or our Advanced Memory Foam Pads, the more thorough the magnetic field coverage and the more overall time exposure you receive. This is best for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, diabetes, aches & pains and more serious health issues. There are also long-term Anti-aging health benefits that can accrue, such as the reduction of oxidation, acidity and calcium levels in the blood and body over time.

Question #4 -

Does the company offer a complete selection of magnetic mattress pads, including their "competitors" AND offer a "guaranteed lowest price" policy?

Here at Magnetic Mattress Pads we feel that we have provided you with a great selection of magnetic mattress pads for every type of user - 9 different styles. Furthermore, we have also provided you with the other Manufacturer's magnetic mattress pads so that we are basically a one-stop location where you can find ALL the high quality magnetic mattress pads at one location. And all of them at the guaranteed lowest prices.

Question #5 -

Does the company give you a Free magnetic pillow pad and magnetic bracelet with each purchase? Do they also, additionally, give you a pair of $48 value magnetic insoles when you purchase more than one magnetic mattress pad?

Magnetic Mattress Pads provides each purchaser of our high quality mattress pads with a Free magnetic pillow pad and a magnetic bracelet. In addition, when you purchase two or more pads at one time, we give you a pair of our $48 value high strength magnetic shoe insoles.

Benefit of Magnetic Mattress Pads

Magnetic mattress pads bathe your body with a natural magnetic field that many believe helps improve circulation and oxygenate the bloodstream.The natural result of better circulation and more oxygen is improved healing and strength for areas of the body weakened by age or disease.

ALL of our Magnetic Mattress Pads provide these benefits.

1. Reducing cellular stress level, which reduces oxidation (which is what aging is)

2. Most people are too acidic and magnetic therapy makes the body more alkaline, which is very good for optimum health.

3. Changing the structure of calcium molecules so that they do not build up on bones and joints, which is what causes most arthritis

1)"Magnet Therapy Reduced Fibromyalgia Pain, Reports New Study” Magnet therapy reduced fibromyalgia pain according to a new University of Virginia study published in the February 2001 Issue of The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. One group used Pad A, which provided whole-body exposure to a low, uniformly static magnetic field of negative polarity. The effects of using North/negative magnetic energy in this group reduced Fibromyalgia pain intensity enough to be "clinically meaningful,” Another group using Pad B, which provided whole body exposure to a low, variable positioned static magnetic field of ALTERNATING (bipolar) polarity, showed an improvement in all outcomes after 3 and 6 months - although the results were statistically inconclusive.

2) Magnetic Mattress Pads Use in Patients with Fibromyalgia, A Randomized Double-blind Pilot Study, conducted by Agatha P. Colbert, M.D. Clinical Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA. Conclusions were simply this; "Sleeping on a magnetic mattress pad, with a magnet surface field strength of 1100+-50 Gauss, delivering 200-600 Gauss at the skin surface provides statistically significant and clinically relevant pain relief and sleep improvement in subjects with Fibromyalgia. No adverse reactions were noted during the 16-week trial period." "The results of this pilot study demonstrate that sleeping for an average of 8 hours per night (prone, supine, or side-lying) on a mattress pad which delivers a 200-600 G static magnetic field, for 16 weeks, provides significant pain relief and sleep improvement in women with FM. Because pharmaceutical agents are associated with a high rate of adverse effects and offer only minimum relief for the majority of patients, we recommend a trial of magnet therapy, as a non-invasive, painless, low risk adjunct to standard medical and physiatric interventions."

3) A study using magnetic mattress pads, carried out over a 1 year period in 3 of Japan's foremost hospitals: by Dr. Cazuo Shimodara. The total number of patients in this double blind clinical experiment was 431 (216 male, 215 female). Some patients were given the magnetic mattress pads and some were given non-magnetic pads. None of the 431 subjects knew which pad they were sleeping on. Subjects selected for the experiment were patients with neck and shoulder pain. The conclusion of this year-long study was: Magnetic mattress pads proved effective on neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, lower limb pain, insomnia, and fatigue, and to have no side effects."

Why A Magnetic Mattress Pad Matters

Do magnetic mattress pads really do anything? What good are they? Well, if you've ever wondered if you need one, find out here! A magnetic mattress pad can make any mattress a great deal more comfortable. By placing extra padding on top of the regular mattress, softness can be added without removing the support of the mattress. These pads are usually one to three inches in depth and are made for several different materials which we will discuss.

Most popular types of mattress pads are:

Memory foam pad- newer product that may ring a bell. The memory foam mattresses have received a great deal of television advertising and, while they look very appealing, they are not inexpensive. Recently, a thin pad version of this mattress has appeared on the market at a much more affordable price.

This pad is about 3 inches in depth and it has all the attributes of the memory foam mattress. The foam adjusts to the pressure placed on it so that there is no undue pressure on different areas of the body. This type of pad is very popular with anyone looking for additional comfort. If you don't have a pillow-top mattress but want that comfy feel, this pad may save you from purchasing a new mattress.

Egg crate- pad that looks as if you could store eggs in it. The foam hard depressions and raised areas that provide a bit more softness when placed over a hard mattress. The person who suffers from arthritis can frequently find sleeping much more comfortable with the addition of this type of pad on the mattress.

Egg crate pads are inexpensive and readily available. To install this type of pad on the mattress, first remove the bed sheets. Place the unrolled pad on top of the mattress and smooth it into place. If the bed is for a patient, a waterproof barrier may need to be placed over the pad where the most likely soiling could occur. Then place the fitted sheet back on the mattress. It will fit a bit more snugly than before and stay on the bed very well. Then you can remake the bed with the other bedding and it is ready for use.

Latex- if someone has incontinence problems or if you have children that are going through the stage where accidents can occur at night, latex pads can protect the mattress from stains and allow you to keep the mattress sanitary and odor-free.

Wool, down or feather pads- can make a cold bed warm and cozy. These pads, especially the down pads, also offer some added padding to help achy hips, shoulders, backs and other painful problems.

Pre-warming- these electric pads work very much like an electric blanket but are on the mattress rather than over the sleeper. No more cold feet when you jump into bed. Wintertime chills run and hide very soon after you turn your electric mattress covering onto the desired setting. Some people like to sleep with the pad on; others prefer simply to use this as a pre-heating device.

Alternating pressure pad- used on a mattress for the truly bed-ridden patient. This plastic pad is placed on the mattress and is constructed of baffled tubes or sections which are filled with air or water. The pad is connected to an electric pump and the pump inflates, deflates and changes the pressure in each section at regular intervals. This can help heal a bed sore or completely prevent bed sores from occurring.

This type of medical device pad can be obtained from a medical supply house and you should learn how to properly operate the device from the professionals who provide the equipment. Some medical supply houses will rent this type of pad for the use by those who must lie on their mattresses all day and night.

No matter what situation best describes your particular needs, you'll find the perfect mattress pad to fill your nights with better sleep and comfort!

What is Magnetic Mattress Pad

Magnetic Mattress Pad have an ability to increase blood circulation. The benefits associated with increased blood circulation may be one explanation of why they work. Magnetic mattress Pad also appear to have an influence on the neurons that transmit messages to the brain, which may explain how they affect pain sensations. Many users magnetic mattress pad report a better night’s rest and a deep, restorative sleep. The most advanced magnetic mattress pads developed to date project a pure North/negative magnetic field 16” above the bed surface. This can be done in four ways:

1. Using 1” disk magnets at 2 1/2” on center and placed in the mattress pad at least 1 ½ “ deep in the magnetic mattress pad.

2. Use domino magnets and place the mattress pad under the regular mattress itself.

3. Use domino magnets placed at least 2 ½” deep in the magnetic mattress pad placed on top of the bed. **

4. Use large block magnets under the magnetic mattress pad itself.

Other types of mattress pad construction and magnet grid patterns produce a bipolar (North/Negative and South/Positive) magnetic field above the pad, a feature that is not recommended for long-term use. For this reason the major manufacturer of this type of product recommends it be placed under the magnetic mattress pad itself. Used in this manner the magnetic field at the mattress pad surface is similar to that of the 1” ceramic disk magnets used in method 1.

Magnetic mattress pads are designed to relieve moderate discomfort and sleep disturbances. A Tru North Visco Pillow Top has proven to be the ideal construction to produce the maximum therapeutic benefit. Originally developed by NASA, Visco memory foam conforms to the body. The use of tight grid pattern of high-grade magnets provides the best system yet developed. Tru North Visco Pillow Tops are proving to be the best design to provide therapeutic benefits and deep restorative sleep.

Sleep and the lack of sleep effects many aspects of our lives as well as the relationships with others. A lack of sleep can affect your health and well-being as well as limiting the ability to perform in a normal manner. Many people lose sleep because of chronic pain conditions that can be relieved by using the correct magnetic mattress pad. In a classic study Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome Dr. K Nakagawa was able to provide proof that the Earth’s magnetic field has greatly reduced in the last several centuries. His study indicates this lack of a normal magnetic field may be part of the reason for many of the chronic pain disease conditions of today such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and etc. This is undoubtedly the main reason magnetic mattress pads are of such benefit in relieving these conditions.

Several double blind clinical studies have shown that properly designed magnetic mattress pads are effective in relieving chronic pain and improving quality of sleep, and that pain relief continued to improve over time.
